About
Laurel studied painting in Suffolk, England between 2011 - 2015, graduating in Arts Practice at Masters level. She spent several years working as a Curator and Project Manager in Creative Marketing before rekindling her love of the paintbrush!
Since 2019 Laurel has been selling her work internationally, with collectors in the USA, Canada, Australia, London, Dubai and throughout Europe.
The main source of inspiration for Laurel’s work comes from both the beauty and the power of nature. She strives to capture these elements using a combination of thick oil paint, fluid drips and expresssive marks. Laurel uses a plethora of colourful oil and acrylic paints. Her painting style is expressive and detailed, focusing on the subject’s eyes to capture the spirit of the animal and the materiality of paint to appeal to the viewers senses!
